After years of wandering, Robin has become accustomed to death and injury.
The Robin that people see most of the time is always elegant, intellectual, indifferent and quiet.
But we need to think about what exactly created his tranquility and indifference.
You must be calm when facing big events, but the premise is that you must have enough experience to face big events with calm.
Robin wandered for several years, from young to young, then no longer young.
Now twenty-five years old, she already has the mentality of a thirty-year-old.
After all, her adult day was not eighteen, but eight, because in that year, she lost everything and gained the status of a distinguished wanted criminal worth seventy-nine million.
As for this moment, looking at the scene of rivers of blood all around, and then looking at Shiliu who was gently wiping away the blood stains on his hands.
Robin showed an elegant smile.
"Is this my future companion, Lord Gawain?
It looks really safe..."
"Ha ha!"
After listening to Robin's words, Gawain smiled and waved his hand.
"Xiliu is an excellent swordsman with normal outlook but abnormal hobbies. But look at these sinful corpses around him.
Sometimes, rules and laws cannot restrain the people who create the rules, then by that time, we will expect there to be more people like Xiliu."
Having said this, Gawain patted Xi Liu on the shoulder.
"Anyway, I leave this place to you, Shiliu.
You know my rules, so kill those who should be killed and those who shouldn't be killed, and don't ruin your future because of a temporary addiction."
"Jiehehehe, don't worry, sir!"
Shiliu grinned.
"When it comes to addiction, hey, killing a dozen or twenty people is enough.
As for now, I will focus more on satisfying my little hobby and clearing the way for adults!
Your brilliance is like the sun at noon, which should not be obscured by thick clouds and fog.
And I am a swordsman, how can a swordsman be called sharp if he cannot spread the clouds and mist!"
After the words fell, Xiliu nodded heavily to Gawain.
Seeing this, Gawain showed a satisfied smile.
Then he looked at Crocodile.
"As for what you just said, Crocodile, the statement that weakness is original sin is indeed a little bit extremely realistic.
Weakness does not mean sin, we just cannot think of ourselves as weak, if everyone in the world feels that we are weak from the beginning.
Then the world will not be as colorful as the past and the future."
"You are absolutely right, my lord!"
Crocodile nodded and said.
At this point, Gawain turned around and took Crocodile and Robin to leave the underground street.
But just before leaving, Gawain turned around and said to Spangdam who was kneeling there respectfully.
"By the way, Spandam, about the floor washing.
You can give part of the harvest to yourself and your subordinates.
However, first of all, not too many, and secondly, you need to replace your subordinates more often, and don’t always carry only a group of Black Ice Platform soldiers."
After the words fell, Gawain continued to walk away, leaving Spandam alone there to sing praises to Gawain.
…
After leaving the block of the underground world, Gawain walked at the front and whispered to the two people behind him.
"Krokdal, do you think what we are doing is no different from what you have been doing for the past fourteen years?
It's just that you are fighting pirates, and we are fighting... cities and people, especially the dark side of the social system."
"The difference is still huge."
Crocodile responded softly.
"After all, my purpose is never pure. I do it all for..."
"No difference!"
Gawain interrupted Crocodile emphatically.
"My purpose is not pure, and I don't do this just to make everyone live a good life.
I simply feel that if I were to rule everything, what I would bring would be better than what I am doing now.
This kind of purpose is not high-level kindness, but extreme self-confidence or even arrogance."
"But your confidence is well-founded, my lord."
Crocodile responded softly.
"Not everyone is willing to do what you are doing now, because every time a high-ranking person lies down, it doesn't matter whether the remaining high-ranking people have done the same bad things as the person lying down.
People will basically think he did it too.
Therefore, people in high positions always work together. Unless there is some kind of internal struggle among themselves, they will not attack each other.
Because every time one of the same kind is defeated, the remaining ones will face greater risks and more doubts!"
"Yes, so the higher the position, the more lonely you will be..."
Hearing Crocodile's words, Gawain looked at him with admiration. The Sand Crocodile in front of him was indeed an excellent role-playing game enthusiast, a... big hero who came out of the market... There must be quotation marks here.
His understanding of the world has his own unique side.
So, facing Crocodile's words, Gawain nodded gently.
"So, I have always been worried about what if I really succeed in standing at the highest position in the future.
So in order for me to sit more securely, will I make... a decision that is completely different from what I am doing now?"
Having said this, Gawain looked back at Robin who was deep in thought.
"And you, Robin, you are the mirror I have found for myself.
Look, this sea today is called hell by many people.
And the devils living in hell are the sons of the devil in their hearts...
Haha, the devil in the eyes of the devil.
Do you think that could be the real son of the devil?"
After the words fell, Gawain faced Robin's slightly rosy complexion again and gently patted Robin's shoulder.
"As a historian, while studying the history of the past, don't forget to record what I said and did.
The most important thing is that if my thinking deviates from the original trajectory, then I hope that you will give me your warning no matter what.
This matter is very dangerous, because each of us does not know what we will become. Maybe in the future, I will make a decision to kill you directly because of your advice.
But I hope even more that if I really fall into hell in the future, I can still hear your angelic voice and get spiritual salvation."
"I……."
Listening to Gawain's words, Robin simply didn't know how to describe her mood. Although she maintained a calm expression, she uneasily arranged her hair on her temples.
After combing her hair, Robin pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
"I understand, I will... from now on, record the exact words and deeds of you, including you.
Because whether you or your team, we are the ones qualified to determine the future course of world history!
We are a big part of history!"
"Haha, that's good, Robin, the big bear will definitely have a common language with you."
Listening to Robin's vowed words, Gawain laughed and raised his hand and rubbed Robin's hair.
For a moment, Robin couldn't help but lower her head slightly. She suddenly didn't dare to look into Gawain's eyes anymore.
Gawain didn't pay attention, he led the two of them through the streets and through the alleys.
As he walked, Crocodile looked at the chaotic but orderly crowd around him, and couldn't help but say to Gawain.
"Sir, it seems that civilians did not kneel when you passed by.
It seems that you did not allow them not to kneel down, so they are..."
"So what so?"
Gawain smiled and waved his hand.
"People kneel before the Draco because the Draco have the power to make it impossible for them to survive.
But when you wait until people really have no way out...
Haha, no matter who is a Celestial Dragon or a devil, who dares to make people who really have no way to survive kneel down again and again?"
Speaking of which, Gawain happened to see Rayleigh and Xia Qi, who were leading a group of children to receive vegetables and vegetarian ramen first.
Facing the two of them, Gawain smiled and waved his hand.
"Hey, old man, where are you taking the children?"
"Hey, little Gawain, have you found a new member?"
Hearing this, Rayleigh looked at Gawain, and then he looked at the man and woman behind Gawain.
Seeing this, Rayleigh patted Xia Qi on the shoulder and asked her to take care of the child first, while he walked in the direction of Gawain.
Behind Gawain, Crocodile and Robin shuddered when they heard Rayleigh calling Gawain.
To call Gawain, the captain of the Celestial Dragons, worthy of the legendary Pluto Rayleigh!
Facing the eyes staring at him, Rayleigh came to Gawain's side and gently hugged Gawain's shoulders.
Then, the old man looked at Crocodile and the two with a cold face.
"Before going to see you, Gawain said something to us. He said that we cannot follow because it is not convenient for us to know the past of some people!
You know, we originally talked about everything on board the Black Bird!
Whether it’s the secret of Raff Drew carried by this old man, or the career of a revolutionary army spy carried by Big Bear, we only talk about it as a joke!
But before recruiting you two, Gawain told me that it is not convenient for any of you to mention the past to us. He also said that once those secrets are mentioned, one of you will become a bad person!"
At this point, Rayleigh let out a sharp breath, raised his hand unceremoniously, and pointed in front of Crocodile and Robin respectively.
"I don't know which one of you it is, and I don't want to know how unexamined that person's actions are!
I only know that if that person never corrects his mentality, even if he is scolded by little Gawain, I will kill him with a knife and feed him to fish!"
After saying that, Rayleigh's overbearing look suddenly swept over him, and a sudden pressure hit Robin and Crocodile hard.
For a moment, Robin bent her knees slightly, making her stand a little unsteady.
As for Crocodile, while his hair was swinging rapidly, he also nodded heavily.
Seeing that the two of them felt enough pressure, Rayleigh looked away with a cold face, only to see him gently pat Gawain's shoulder.
"Captain, I'm here to help you a little bit, and it feels surprisingly good. But hearing those kids calling me grandpa, I kind of... thought of damn Garp.
Anyway, you go and do your work, I will continue to take care of the children, we should stay in Cortlena for a few days, because this is the most suitable place for Frankie to establish a reserve station."
"Um."
Gawain nodded, so Rayleigh let go of him and returned to Xia Qi's side.
Looking at Rayleigh's back, Gawain smiled and said to Robin and Crocodile who were exhaling.
"Krokdal, the old man is mainly targeting you, don't think he doesn't know who I'm talking about.
As for Robin, you have been implicated. I will treat you to a drink later to make up for it.
As for now, I will take you back to the Black Bird and let you see your future home first.
We may have to live on this ship for many years to come."
After the words fell, Gawain took Robin's hand and picked up Crocodile again.
A moment later, thunder suddenly fell from the sky, and Gawain and the three returned to the deck of the Blackbird from Cortlena Street.
After Gawain left, Rayleigh happened to return to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi said to Lei Li while teaching the thirsty children to drink water slowly.
"It's rare for an old ghost to show his authority in front of newcomers. He even used his directional overlord color."
"Haha, it's inevitable to play a bad role for Gawain.
After all, we are a team composed of many strong people. As the composition of the personnel becomes more and more complex, gentleness and love alone cannot influence everyone.
Who else on our ship is better suited to do this than an old man like me?
At least my seniority is here."
After saying that, Rayleigh turned around with a smile and looked at the Black Bird where the thunder was coming.
While watching, he said.
"Although I am old, I am very considerate.
Wait, when it comes to carefulness, why do I feel like I have forgotten something...
By the way, did I forget that boy Ace on the deck?"
…
At the same time, on the Black Bird, Ace was looking helplessly at the almost empty deck.
Of course, there will be no one left on the Black Bird, but at this moment, most people are concentrated on the belly of the ship and near the lift platform, continuously transporting supplies to Cortlena.
So, with no one paying attention to him, Ace just stood there by himself, looking embarrassed.
He felt as if he had just discovered the feeling of having a father, and then he also found the feeling of being abandoned by his father!
Fortunately, just as he was thinking this, there was a harsh thunder and lightning behind him.
Suddenly, Ace looked expectantly at the location of Thunder.
After landing, Gawain was the first to see Ace, whose eyes were full of where his father was.
So, he laughed and waved to Ace.
"Haha, we disembarked so suddenly that we actually forgot you on the boat.
But it's okay, it won't happen again.
Come on, come together. I'll take you to rest for a while.
Let me introduce each other to you."
Having said this, Gawain took the trio of newcomers, including Ace, to the table by the pool where he most often sat and rested.
At this moment, various snacks and drinks are placed on the table for easy placement.
Gawain picked up a pot of wine and poured a glass for everyone.
However, when he fell in front of Ace, Ace immediately shook his head in disdain.
"How could a pirate drink from such a delicate crystal cup!
Gao Wensheng, isn't there a horn cup suitable for me? I should at least have a draft beer cup, right?"
After saying that, Ace simply picked up a wine bottle from the side.
"Forget it, I'd better drink it directly from the pot, that's the only way to feel refreshed!
No matter what, you let me meet my father's best friend during his lifetime, Mr. Rayleigh.
And, you... at least you didn't yell at me because of my identity!
Tsk, I’m not used to saying those kind of affectionate words, in short, I respect you..."
Snapped!
Before Ace could finish speaking, Gawain's right hand was covered with a layer of black energy, and then, his palm severely cut Ace's head.
"Ouch!"
Ace snorted in dissatisfaction, and Gawain smiled and said to Ace.
“Kid, don’t always be my boss.
You may not feel it yourself, but in our eyes, if a child calls himself Lao Tzu, he will not be very handsome.
On the contrary, it was kind of funny.
So don’t let yourself be treated as a joke by others, you are my person, and if you laugh at me, don’t you just laugh at me?”
After speaking, Gawain picked up the wine bottle and touched one to Ace. At the same time, he also saluted the other two.
Facing Gawain's toast, Crocodile simply picked up a wine flask and drank like the two of them.
As for Ace, he kept thinking about that sentence in his mind...
You are mine!
Hell, just thinking about this made Ace want to flip the table.
But then he thought of Rayleigh...
Forget it, just have a drink and pretend you didn't hear anything.
And there is Robin. At this moment, she is holding her cheek with her left hand, her right leg is elegantly folded on her left leg, and she is holding an exquisite goblet in her right hand and gently colliding with Gawain's wine bottle.
.
At the same time, in the distance in the sky, Hancock and Gion happened to return together after the fight.
When the two of them saw the scene of Robin and Gawain drinking.
